Overview

Alcohol, in clinical and public-health terms, refers to ethanol-containing beverages and the patterns of consumption and harm associated with them, ranging from low-risk use to hazardous and harmful drinking and to alcohol use disorder. Ethanol is a central-nervous-system depressant metabolised principally in the liver, and excessive or chronic intake contributes to hepatic injury, cardiovascular and neurological harm, dependence, and elevated risk of injury and certain cancers. Alcohol use disorder is characterised by impaired control, craving, tolerance, and withdrawal, and its course is shaped by genetic, metabolic, and psychosocial factors, with management spanning screening, behavioural intervention, and pharmacotherapy. Peer-reviewed work relevant to this topic examines plasma TREM2 levels, liver enzymes, and a sex-dependent genetic relationship in alcohol use disorder, the duration and physiology of the alcohol hangover, trauma-related psychotic reactions mediated by alcohol use, the metabolic and neurochemical effects of passive exposure to alcohol, long non-coding RNAs in tobacco- and alcohol-induced head and neck cancer, and alcohol-associated liver disease. These contributions span addiction medicine, hepatology, genetics, and neuroscience, addressing the biological mechanisms, comorbidities, and consequences of alcohol consumption, an area in which the journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to addiction and rehabilitation.
